Read-only inspection. Switch to Image cleaner to remove metadata and export a copy.
Content Credentials were detected. Cleaning removes these records of image origin and edits. Keep an original copy, and disclose AI-generated content where required.
Share the picture, not your location or camera details.
Prepare cleaner files for social posts, product listings, and everyday sharing.
Metadata cleanup doesn't remove visible or pixel-based watermarks, or guarantee that a platform won't apply an AI label. Read the limits
What this C2PA remover does
C2PA is the standard behind Content Credentials, a signed record of how an image was created and edited. See our plain-English guide to C2PA for how it works.
This tool looks for C2PA data where each format stores it: JUMBF segments in JPG, caBX chunks in PNG, C2PA chunks in WebP, and the matching boxes in HEIC. It then redraws the image from its pixels, so the record isn't copied across, and scans the new file to confirm the result.
What removal does and doesn't do
- The signed record is gone from the new copy and can't be restored from it.
- The original file stays untouched on your device.
- A missing record doesn't prove that an image is real, or that AI wasn't used.
- Pixel watermarks stay in the image. Some provenance systems pair credentials with a watermark or fingerprint so they can be recovered.
When to keep Content Credentials
These records can help you prove your work is yours, and they help others understand where an image came from. Keep them on published journalism, on work you want attributed, and on anything where a client or platform asks for provenance. Please don't remove them from work that isn't yours, or to pass off an AI image as a real photo. Some tools set their own rules too: Adobe's Generative AI User Guidelines say you must not remove, alter, or disable Content Credentials on content made with its generative tools.
The most common reason to clean a copy is privacy: a record can include editing history and account details that you don't want on a public file.
Check a signature instead
The checker above only shows whether Content Credentials are present. To validate a signature and read the full history, use Content Credentials Verify.

A few things to know
Questions, answered.
Does removing C2PA change how the image looks?
PNG exports keep the decoded pixels without lossy compression. JPG and WebP exports are re-encoded at high quality and may look slightly different.
Can Content Credentials be restored after removal?
Not from the cleaned copy. Keep your original file if you might need the record later.
Does it work on images from Adobe, ChatGPT, or Gemini?
It works on any supported file that stores C2PA data in the usual places. Pixel watermarks from those tools are not removed.
Does it validate the signature?
No. It detects whether Content Credentials are present. Use Content Credentials Verify to validate them.
